OP-CO Marine

OP-CO Marine operates as a mobile shipyard, offering an adaptable workforce for superyacht refit, repair, and maintenance projects worldwide.

With international teams of engineers, technicians, and tradespeople, the company delivers high-quality service directly to yachts, whether at sea, in port, or during yard periods. Through a network of partnerships, the company provides full-spectrum solutions across mechanical, electrical, AV/IT, fabrication, carpentry, and coatings.

The strategy extends beyond immediate repairs to focus on long-term planning, allowing crews to initiate maintenance programmes early. While the teams operate globally, a UK workshop supports these efforts by producing specialized fabrication and engineering projects. By providing competitively priced, deployable personnel, OP-CO Marine serves as an all-in-one provider for complex work on every vessel.

Founded in 2022 by Alex O’Connell and Tom Puddy, the company is based in Southampton and rooted in a commitment to craftsmanship. O’Connell brings extensive experience from his time in the Merchant Navy as a Chief Engineer, while Puddy contributes technical expertise gained from a career as a Chief Electrician in the luxury cruise and private yacht sectors.

Together, the founders prioritize professional engineering solutions that maintain high standards of quality and environmental responsibility.
